Man are you serious? I gotta look that up. Prince had that bit talking like that???
This is Jesse right here

Prince was on all the records..ice cream castle he let Jesse in on the recording and let him do the solo to Jungle Love. Jesse came up with the bassline and solo to that song.

He smoked the stage to the point Prince comes out later and joins them for some bullshyt rock a Billy song to kill their momentum

Either him or Eddie .


Eddie changed the game but at his peak, i dunno if I can put him above Hendrix.
Van Halen had the 80’s on lock though…easy GOAT contender.



what are ur views on Steve Vai


lol theres not nearly that much theory involved.. it wasnt so much the notes as how he played them

lots of 9ths and 7th chords but he stayed pretty pentatonic. he was very blues influenced


pretty much lol


Hendrix was more about phrasing than anything.
wasn’t playing weird, exotic modes like Ywngie and the Neo-Classical guys


pretty much all our favorite guitarists operate inside the Pentatonics lol


Jesse Johnson is underrated and for a while may have been better than Prince..atleast in 80-84...

When they would jam Prince would always put Jesse on bass :mjlol:


lol


Prince leveled up big time in the 90's going towards the LousFlow3r/Musicology era…
his guitar playing took off later on i noticed.
his 80’s stuff was cool but he focused more on catchy riffs (Lets Go Crazy) than licks or really soloing.


but if you go back to Dirty Mind he was mostly doing rhythm guitar work on that anyway.


the biggest knock on Prince’s guitar playing IMO…is he don’t have a “Erruption” or “Maggot Brain” type of song.


when we have Pokemon Battles of our Favorite Guitarists,
we don’t have that “one” Prince song that showcases everything he is as a lead guitarist.


U have to already be a Prince fan to know what his best solos are,
whereas Guitar circles know Summer Breeze & Maggot Brain off GP even if they don’t listen to Isley or 70’s Funkadelic

That's because you can't monetize a video unless it's around 10 minutes long so they ramble alot to stretch the vid :mjlol:

Nothing bothers me more than those damn in-video sponsors though.:aicmon:

8 minutes to be exact :win:

I stretch the shyt out of my videos for that very reason....

*looks at clock and see's i aint go shyt else to say after minute 4*

Yea..alot of people point to Prince solo on My Guitar Gently weeps.

Listen to Get it up to hear Prince shred it up.The solos were blistering and really the first time you hear him shredding...I think he record that in 82.

Prince was heavily influenced by Santana and you hear it even in his tone...henhad boosted mids...

You can hear it in that first song 'Te Amo corazon'....he tends to make solos that are very melodic..often like Santana. His phrasing too...especially in that song.

He said this about Carlos...

"If they really listened to my stuff, they’d hear more of a Santana influence than Jimi Hendrix,” Prince stated. “Hendrix played more blues; Santana played prettier.” T

he could play it both hands right left

John Mayer is a better guitarist than Hendrix..

Hendrix wouldn't be able to pull this off

Bruh. Everybody fukks with Jimi.
I find it's mixed..it's some thaf lowkey don't...they recognize he is good but alot dont really fukk with him...they tend to like the British based blues..or from the Eddie Stan camp.
I find with Jimi it's youbreally love him..or you see him and recognize he was GOOD but prefer someone else.

Stevie ray Vaughan is one who def wasn't shy about his Jimi influence...John frusciante too.
